best jackets under $120?

[dunny]

Hi, i'm in need of a medium weight jacket, and have a budget of $120. I really like the Supreme m65 but just don't have that kind of money. Hoping to get some suggestions of some good jackets and where to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank!

I know doubling your budget is a lot to ask for. But that Supreme m65 is now on sale for 244, and its a really nice jacket. Any Alpha industry jacket is going to cost around a bill after shipping. The fit on the jacket is also on point. I am 6 feet and weight 165 and that jacket fits perfectly. I know the black is still availble in a medium, but not the brown.

How do they fit? I'm 5'8" 130 pounds, and I usually wear an extra small or small in everything, so I'm assuming the medium would be too big.

Well your frame is suited for a medium, however 130 is pretty light. THe fit on the large is a little gib on the sleeve, but overall I like the fit because I can still layer.

I think the medium would be too big for you. I'm 6', 175 lbs, and the medium is perfect on me -- fits right with enough room to wear layers underneath.

That said, the Supreme jacket is indeed an incredible value at $250. Alpha stuff is made to last, and I love the waterproof cotton, it works very well. Not to mention I prefer the hood/collar to the "authentic" built-in hood of the mil-spec M65.

i'm curious to know how a supreme m65 made by alpha differs from a normal m65 made by alpha. is it just the waterproof cotton and hood?

Fabric, liner, collar/hood, drawstrings, and I believe the fit is a bit different although I'm not sure.
